REQUEST: Sprite Sheet Animation Edit

[Sauk]

Maker: RMXP
Type of resource requested: edited charset
Sprite template being used: custom
Describe what it is you want here: I'm just looking for someone to properly animate this one sprite sheet I've created myself so I can emulate your work as I learn better by visual examples rather than instructions. If you think of a way to improve the sprite sheet (as I'm sure you will) then I'd be glad to read and take your advice into consideration/ see the upgrade if you so choose to give an example. One of the many problems I see is in the walking up animation where the character appears to be marching instead of walking; Another problem I see is the amount of sway when he takes his strides which I don't know how to fix.

Any other comments:
I am trying to make a Trailer Park Boys game just to re-introduce myself to the RM world and cannot find any other way of making distinguishing features for players to recognize asides from making heads larger to add more detail.

If you can do a better job at spriting out one of the characters from the show and making them distinguishable then I'd be more than happy to scrap my sprite sheets and hire you to sprite for me in the future.

I tried doing it myself but am not satisfied at all with the result; With that, I'm bumping the thread.

can you post the gif of the animation? I honestly really like your style and think you should keep at it.

The weird thing I see here, especially on the walking down frames, is that he's looking AT the player, whereas his face should be lower to show that he's looking where he's walking, if that makes sense?

I moved his head down 1 pixel, but I'm guessing that isn't enough? I'll make sure to change that.

edit: I think I know what you mean but how am I going to illustrate that with a 3 pixel horizontal eye?

I unfortunately don't have photoshop to make a gif x: I can see about getting my buddy to make it for me though.
